Increase Performance

[epheterson]

I have a 1994 325i Convertable, I'd like to know what the popular ways of increasing performance. What have you guys done to increase performance?

[BUSTaMOVE]

Depending on ur price range the best low end im talkin under 300 dllar range is getting some performance software from probably turner at turnermotorsports.com and a cold air intake , also an exhaust it may sound cool but for 600 bucks not the best money conscious mod

[B3M2W5i]

i havent done anything yet but a performance chip, exhaust, and intake. those are part of my plans

[epheterson]

A chip and intake were up there, exhaust is kinda pricy and a big job.. Maybe i'll put that aside for a rainy day.

Looking around on E-Bay I can do all that for under $100, do you think the price of the cold air intake matters, and do you have any suggestions for which chip to get (and how to install it)?

I heard about that, two questions though; 1) What exactly is it? and 2) How would I go about doing it?

[xsperf]

there are like these chips on ebay for 20 bux, just incase u were thinking about it, lol dont, all they do is jack up ur fuel:air ratio and give u horrible mpg and a ton of other crap

m3 cams with software would be good

[SpeedInfusion]

if u think prices are high, welcom to the world of bmws =), just make sure and ask before jumping into a product cuz here we have lots of edumacated peoplez who can help ya out

I can't believe some of you people and your so called "debaffling"...you make me vomit, you own a BMW so get a decent CAI. I don't care what anyone says, debaffling will do absolutley nothing for you. You're lucky to get 4 or 5 to the wheels with a decent CAI AND software/chip to support it.

[YoungExec728]

Along with every things said above I would go with:

Power:
Fan Delete
Underdrive Pulleys
LTW Flywheel
Injectors
Headers
Track Pipe
Larger Throttle Body
3.5 HFM
You could also go the forced induction route

Suspension:
Sport Shocks and Struts
Lowering Springs
Sway Bars with new bushings
Front Strut Bar
Larger Wheels and Tires
(I have the UUC Sachs Stage 4 Plus Suspension and it's AWESOME!!!)

Brakes:
Big Brake Kit
SS Brake Lines

debaffling does not give any power gains but makes your car sound better.
